Club Supporter, based in Houghton-le-Spring, helped community-run and semi-professional sports clubs raise over £35,000 last year, during one of the most difficult periods in grassroots history. The app – which is the brainchild of former school friends Anthony Daglish, David Copple and Philip Cummings, along with colleague Paul Deehan – provides clubs with a free platform to not only engage with fans, but to secure the funding required to sustain their futures.
